Ramblings about everything from Cars to Computers

Some folks are claiming that Dwight and Newt are one and the same person. I find this hard to believe. Certainly the age difference seems to be a factor, and, as everyone knows Dwight is a beet farmer from Pennsylvania while Newt was a College Professor from Georgia.

Some folks will claim that it is not really Dwight, but the actor Rainn Wilson who is the true Doppelgänger.

You guys have probably seen the Microsoft Kinect for the Xbox 360. It is a motion control accessory that allows you to interact with your video games, just like the Wii. Microsoft has done a pretty good job with this device, although it seems as if they are still waiting for the killer app to really drive sales. Recently when I was at the Lenox Square Mall in Atlanta (a Simon Mall), I caught a glance of this guy getting his inner groove on with a public demo of the Kinect and Dance Central. This guy really got into his dance routine. Got love it…. Can you say hilarious!

Once again the news agencies prove incapable of actually doing some basic research to identify the “Mystery Missile”. Ten minutes of Google searching will give you access to many sites that have very similar pictures as those seen with the Mystery Missile. Once you actually see these contrails from multiple locations, it is clear that the “Mystery Missile” was simply a plane contrail that you can see everyday if you look closely enough. No conspiracy, no military hoax, not connected to cruise ships breaking down in the ocean. Just a simple plane traveling from Hawaii to Phoenix, which it does everyday.

Option 1 – An airliner with a contrail, made to look thicker than usual because it is flying towards the camera, and appearing to “come out of the sea” because it came from over the horizon. Data for this includes several known simiar examples, a known flight in the area doing the right path at the right time, and lack of anything unusual on FAA ATC tapes.

OR

Option 2 – An unknown SLBM launch undetected by anyone, evidence for which is “I seen some rocket launches and they look like this – honest”.

The origin of the word OK is with American president Martin Van Buren, who was elected in 1836. He would always say everything would be all right, everything would be fine, etc. His nickname was named after his birthplace, Old Kinderhook, New York. So, for short people called him O.K. This then became a substitute for what he stood for, everything will be alright, etc. and thus OK was born. Don’t believe folks who tell you that it is from Okay…
